Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A flask of identical rounded form but with different decoration of lotus is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. The Ardebil shrine, Iran, has three flasks of this form with dragons and the body of a flask with a missing neck and foot ring, which shows composite floral decoration closely related to that of the present flask.
